Scrap handles WIP project.

Looking forward to see how this turns out!

 

Any progress on this one ?

 

I'm slacking. One piece that I tried glueing resulted in some weird looking thing (because I've made a number of errors, including bad alignment of pieces and mixed sides).

Thicker pieces are Mango and thinner reddish colour is Cocobolo

Still might add ferrule and use this part for some small petty handle.

… though I guess I'll glue more pieces tonight

 

I think your sense of color is pretty spot on though. Those look very well together! If you ever wanted to make a living doing endgrain butcher blocks...the raw talent is there lol.

 

Here are pics of the scrap saya - HHH 240mm production gyuto w/ wavy burled honduran rosewood scales & mosaic pins:

 

that saya is really cool.

 

I have to admit, there's literally no progress so far. There are 3 glued pieces that needs to be drilled and shaped, but I'm too lazy.

 

That saya for the HHH gyuto is too cool Anton.

 

ok, my own project is still on hold, but today I stumbled upon pretty amazing Instagram photos that I want to share. Same idea, but taken to an extreme.

First you grab some old skateboards


Then you cut them into pieces


and you stack them


And in the end you get a crazy looking handles

Wow. I really like that. I wonder if the person stabilizes them first.
